HISTORY as I know it
The original owner stopped riding it in 1973 because he could not get it to run .
I found that the ignition coil was defective .
I replaced it with a used coil from a 1969 honda ca 160 .
I rebuild the gas shut off petcock and replaced carb gaskets and new battery..
Rear inner tube was replaced by local honda dealer.
Original narrow white wall 16 inch tires have very slight weather checking .
Original red paint looks really good.
Some of the chrome has minor surface rust. Needs to be cleaned .

Mufflers had small rust holes on the bottom at rear .
I made temporary repairs that stopped the leaks .

A Weighty Issue
Mon, 03 Nov 2008For as long as I can remember, motorcycle manufacturers have been playing fast and loose with regard to what they claim for the weight of their bikes. The “dry weights” they foisted upon us had little basis in reality.

Classic Off-Road Bikes Featured in Braving Baja: 1,000 Miles to Glory Exhibition
Sat, 06 Apr 2013Back in the 60s, American Honda tested the durability of its motorcycles by sending a CL72 Scrambler on a 950-mile trek through rocks, sand washes, dry lake beds, mountain passes and paved roads. Fifty years later, that legendary run is remembered for inspiring one of the most significant off-road races in the world—the Baja 1000. In celebration, the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles is hosting a tribute dinner, one-day off road show, and summer-long exhibition called Braving Baja, 1,000 Miles to Glory.
